One World, One Heart

Well I thought that I was going to be too late to be added to the official list! But according to today's post she will still try to add the links! Yeah! And of course I can still do a post and add a label, right?

Here's what would be nice. Leave a comment on here about what you like to use in your non traditional artwork. I'll choose a winner on the 12th of February and it could be you. You'll hear a knock on your door and I'll shout "You won!" I'll have a bouquet of red (no, yellow) roses, a bottle of champagne (maybe Diet Coke) and a box of Godiva chocolates. NOT! Sounds good though doesn't it?

The prize will be a baggie of watch parts and if you win it you might just say to yourself, "What the HELL am I going to do with this?"

It is officially over! Thank you so much to everyone who has entered my drawing and participated in this event. I now plan on visiting all the blogs of those who left comments.

I will pick a winner and announce it later this morning. I have to go back to the store and get the prizes....oh don't worry, I have the watch parts, it's just......Oh, What the HELL....I ate the damn chocolates, drank the champagne and diet coke and I really wasn't thinking and I bought the roses weeks ago and they are dead! So let me replace everything and then I will be on my way!

Oh honey, I would never have to ask what the HELL I'd do with watch parts!

And, since I actually read the post before rushing to comment, I like to use anything that isn't nailed down or still living in my artwork. I've been known to save the bones from whatever is for dinner, clean them, bleach them, and call them art supplies. WTH?

Thanks for participating in OWOH. I hope lots of folks find you this way :)

Oooh, a minutiaephile after my own heart! You should come play in (root around in) my watchmaker's drawers. Anyway, I know exactly what the hell I'd do with that little pile of treasures you're offering, so put my name in your hat please!Then come play in my giveaway - #310.

These are wonderful! I used a TH stamp Mistress of time and used an eclispe tin and made a doll out of it and embellished it with watch parts. Oh yes sign me up for this givw away!!!I'm particapating too.

My latest strange thing to collect for some art work is chocolate wrappers. I've got an idea....

I must have found a kindred spirit because honestly, I've been wanting watch parts 4EVER! And yellow roses are much nicer than red ones. Afraid we disagree on the soda. I'm more of a tea or coffee kinda gal.

I got my OWOH posts up late too, but I hope you'll stop by for a visit. And now I'm off to see more of your blog.

I love using old eye shadow tins for baking dishes when I make dollhouse minis...I use clay to make the baked goods, then bake them in the eye shadow tin! I also use watch parts and old radio parts in my altered art and collages. I just love being different! Love your site! Please add me to your drawing! Thanks,Donna K Schraderhttp://dschrader.blogspot.com/

Oh would I love to get my hands on those great watch parts. I even think they have my name on them. O really am having fun poking around this caravan. If you get a chance. drop my my place: Phoenix Rising #515

this is cool. please include me. i like to use vintage watch parts, too; however, my favorite thing to use is vintage anatomy drawings! drop by my drawing, too http://www.artsyfran.com/2009/01/19/one-world-one-heart-2009/

I'd LOVE to be the winner of those watch parts! They are awesome!!! Please include me in your drawing. I am also participating in this wonderful event! http://quiltmoose.blogspot.com/Please stop by if you haven't already.

Yes, I could use watch parts...interestingly, I'm sure...but the non-traditional thing I used..recently....um, black guttering. Yep, guttering. Found a whole huge roll at a local thrift store years ago. It aged perfectly...and made a great backdrop on some cards...as well as a wrap on a stainless steel lunch box (recipe) tin for my step-son---couldn't look girly---nope-so black guttering...black leather with silver eyelets embeeded...um hmm...so I hope I am "in time" for you to "count" me in for the watch part drawing...and that it didn't "fly by" me...--From the OKI Stampqueen - alias Sharon

I love watch and clock parts, all those interesting shapes and pieces. I like to use them in/on my mixed media and collage projects and in Altoid container mini shadow boxes. I've always wanted to make a mini mobile to hang on a piece. It also would be cool to decorate a lamp shade with all the various components. The possibilities are endless with enough parts.Thanks for the chance. (I came over to your site from Lisa Vollrath's)

What the hell do you do with all that shredded paper? I make beads and am working on making some paper from them. We have more shredded paper than any two human beings should...which means more beads that anyone should have!

Love the ethos of your blog.. unlike my OH who finds me an embarrasment as I pick up bits and pieces wherever I am.. I have got the kids trained though and they are wonderful at beachcombimg in suburbia!

This is the second time I comment. I hope this is alright. Just wanted to let you know that I have joined the Gypsy Caravan. You are welcome to enter in if you haven't already done -http://mychilddiary.blogspot.com/2009/01/one-world-one-heart-giveway.html Thanks, Miri. samjerus[at]yahoo.com

hmmmmmm.....so I use washers - chrome, brass, copper and steel in jewelry; I've used a weed whacker part in a necklace, I've used brass fish hooks as clasps......I could go on, but I really want to throw my name in the hat for these faboo watch parts.......oh the things I could make with those......and if you have a minute, please stop by and enter my giveaway!http://mrsbeadsley.blogspot.com/2009/01/one-world-one-heart-blog-event.html

I'm so glad to have found your blog. I love vintage things and using such things in my art; although I haven't so much yet. I'm new to it and I'm still amvibilant to use such precious stuff in creations yet, but I know I will eventually. One thing I want to use in my art is vintage millinnary. Thanks for the chance to win these cool clock parts. I would love to use these as well in one of my creations.

I'm sure I could find all sorts of fun things to do with those watch parts :o) Thank you for hosting this giveaway -- my current favorite non-traditional art supplies are the blue pop tabs from certain food cans, a white-out pen and my office stapler (the lazy girl's gluestick/sewing machine).

I use anything I find when I'm walking around including rusty washers laying on the ground. I've used watch faces but not other parts yet, would love to explore the possibilities. I have used zipper teeth in bead projects

Hi, I'm Kathy, nice to meet you and thanks for giving me the opportunity to come by and visit. Watch parts...what a great giveaway, just the other day i was trying to take an old broken watch apart to alter. Please stop over and see me also.

First off let me say... how cool is your blog... i'm just getting really into the whole altered side of crafting {played it safe till now but have the bug big time} and only found your blog tonight {its going straight in my favs BTW} I would have to say the thing/s i like to ad most to my work is well.. anything! and everything! I reciently dismantled an old webcam to see what salvagable parts might be inside to make stuff with lol but i love your watch backs idea, didn't think of using then that way so thanks 4 the tip.. sorry i've rambled enough lol.. Good luck everyone :O)

I'm rather new to this whole "Altered Art" scene, so I'm still doing a lot of experimenting around. I really love picking up little "found" items I have have stashed away in jars and plastic zip-lock bags around the house (some of this stuff is about as old as I am!) or that I stumble upon in out of the way stores. It's a whole new mindset, and totally different from the traditional art background I come from. I really love what you've got on your blog so far, and can't wait to see it evolve. Resistors and capacitors, now that's something I can get into!!!! How about a few diodes to add to the bunch? Or some LEDs maybe? I can just see it now!

I would love to win your watch parts! I would love to win your prize. Your site is beautiful. After this is all over I’m going to spend more time viewing every ones. Please stop at my site too. I’m giving away my new book and "16 x MOM: A Mastery of Motherhood. I will personally sign it. blog.http://blog.barbaracagle.com/2009/02/01/one-world-one-heart.aspx#AddComment

WOW, this is a wonderful event!!! I'm from Oz the Land Down-Under. It's very nice to 'meet' you. I'm in for my second year and I'm sure I'll be back for more. Oh, I'd love to be entered for your give-away and if you haven't dropped by my blog yet, then please do, I'm #838 in the Gypsy Caravan.

Please enter me in your giveaway. As for what I like to use-hhmm, well, I'm saving about everything. Now, if I'll just get around to using it all. I guess so far the weirdest things I'm found and put back are oppossum bones, including a really cool jaw bone.
